old Puritan families who came over in
the "May Flower" He is literally
educated, being a graduate of Williams
college and of Mccormick theological
seminary. After leaving the latter
institution he was regularly ordained
in the Presbyterian ministry. He
impressed all those whom he met here
rs a straight forward, Christian gentle
man, entirely worthy of the prize he
has won.

ter, so much is known that little need
be said. Living here since
childhood she has grown up
among us, holding the old friends

sweetness of disposition and a charm

been well aud carefully educated, hav-

School in 1885, and from Oxford (Ohio)
Female Seminary in June of this year.

arduous and self-sacrlflcing work upon
which he has entered.
